At Alumnae Leadership Council last October, the WCAA honored three alumnae with its annual Sed Ministrare Volunteer Award, an honor designed to celebrate significant or innovative volunteer service.

Sally Katz ’78has been described as a miracle worker, a magnet, a shining star—and the soul of the Wellesley Club of France. She served as the president of the club for five years and 10 years as secretary. Fellow members report that any alumna or visitor passing through Paris is “immediately swept into our whirlwind of Wellesley club activities” and say Katz makes everyone feel at home abroad. Her leadership has produced a warm, close-knit network of alumnae of all ages and helped to establish the Wellesley Club of France’s stellar reputation as the “liveliest alumnae group in Paris.”

Pamm McNeil ’82has the distinction of being one of the WCAA’s very few “trifecta” volunteers, having served as the president of a club, her class, and a shared interest group. She was vice president and president of two clubs—Wellesley-on-Long Island and the Washington Wellesley Club—and has been a faithful admission volunteer, as well as a Wellesley Fund representative for her class. McNeil helped charter the WCAA’s first shared interest group, Wellesley Alumnae of African Descent, in 2011. She is currently in her third year as WAAD president.

Brooke Bryant ’03对班级和俱乐部水平可见的富尔斯利对富尔斯利有热情。她带着她的才能作为杜兰特椅子，为“03的第10次重聚”，产生了19个杜兰特捐助者。作为纽约Wellesley Club的会员主席，Bryant开发了一项会员计划，该计划的目标是第一年增加100％，并保留了75％的成员。俱乐部不仅超出了这一目标，而且在三年内，会员资格增长了250％。后来，作为俱乐部主席，她成功地领导了俱乐部的125周年庆典规划，汇集了400卢比。
